Vegetables like red cabbage, red onion and beetroot are packed with naturally occurring polyphenols that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that may help fight chronic diseases. In fact, beets contain a bit of almost all the vitamins and minerals that you need. Beets are also a great source of nutrients, including fibre for digestive support, folate and vitamin C. And as if that wasn’t enough, beets also contain nitrates and pigments that may help lower blood pressure and improve athletic performance. GO BEETS GO! We love enjoying this dip with Hippie Snacks cauliflower & avocado crisps!
